alright fellas i almost have the motor all pluged up. since we moved shops, it seems that some of the stuff is mia. going to do the egr blockoff. did u guys take off the egr solinoid? i cant find it so i was wondering when i block it off to just pull it off. will it be ok? it doesnt seem to have a plug to it so since its not being used i shouldnt worry about gettin a new one. thanks for all the help

Yep, just leave it off. Make sure to block both holes (of course). If you don't want to the CEL, supposedly, you can put a resistor between the two wires where the solenoid was. Use a 10KOhm 10W resistor. I haven't tried the resistor trick yet, but will shortly.

Hey, my info was at work, so I was going off memory (and very little sleep yesterday when I replied). The resistor should be 1.2KOhm 10W. Sorry for the wrong info the 1st time. It wouldn't hurt anything, but you'd get a CEL, so no big deal.

thanks for your help. i didnt think there were any wires on the solinoid guess i will have to look again.

I also did the EGR mod. You could do what MKERLEY mentioned in his post. My only suggestion would be to use a good gasket with a high temp sealant. Also, if you're going to cut your own block-off plate, use aluminum or sheet metal that's fairly think (1/8" is best), because I had some idle problems after the mod. It was caused from leaks at the blockoff plates. I used an aluminum sheet that was too thin and it warped when I tightened it down--causing the leaks. As for the resistor install, I haven't installed one and somehow, I never got a CEL. I've done this mod for about 2 months now.
